My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 346: The Storyteller in the Restaurant

Before leaving, Qin Feng grabbed Huo Yuan’s hand and refused to let go.

“Master Qin, I know you can’t bear to leave us, but we all have things to do. Besides, now that you are settled in the Imperial City, we can meet anytime.” Huo Yuan comforted.

I’m not reluctant at all. Qin Feng replied with a deep voice. “I agreed to give you lectures, and later, when I acquire the restaurant, you will all come to help with the free renovation. What’s this? My lecture is over, and you want to pretend like this never happened?”

Huo Yuan’s face stiffened. “How can that be, Master Qin? After you choose the location for the restaurant, just come to us.”

“Words alone are not enough. I want a written agreement.”

“With the reputation of the Divine Workshop and our previous relationship, is a written agreement really necessary?”

“Huh, you have so many daily activities. What if you’re too busy at that time and can’t spare any manpower? Then my lecture today would be in vain. A written agreement is a must!”

Reluctantly, Huo Yuan agreed.

Satisfied, Qin Feng put the written agreement in his pocket and asked curiously, “Where is Elder Yuan today? Why haven’t I seen him?”

“The old master is still working on the mobile city. The trip to Jinyang City earlier opened his eyes. After he returned, he hid in the fifth floor of the previous attic and did not come out.”

“I see. The old master is really something, at his age, not paying attention to rest. Well, you take care of yourselves, I’ll take Ningshuang and leave first,” Qin Feng waved his hand in farewell.

On the fifth floor of the attic, the roaring furnace was emitting white smoke. Despite the cold winter month, it felt like a steamer inside.

Elder Yuan sat cross-legged on the floor, putting aside the lecture notes he had just finished.

To his left, a massive design drawing took up almost a third of the hall.

On white paper scroll, a massive mobile city was coming to life, with every detail inside meticulously annotated. However, there was a big question mark regarding the word power.

“Originally, I wanted to use a precious tool to power this mobile city, but it seems a bit impractical. I have to think about it again.”

After teaching all morning, the sun was high, and it was time for lunch. 

Accompanied by Ningshuang, Qin Feng walked through several streets and found a crowded restaurant.

People from different places have different tastes in food. Although Qin Feng is very confident in hot pot, it is also necessary to find out the eating habits of the local people in advance.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

At first, he thought about taking Ningshuang to the famous Start Seizing Tower in Imperial City for lunch, but after careful consideration, he rejected the idea. After all, the Start Seizing Tower primarily catered to high-end customers, either the elite or imperial relatives.

The Moonlit Pavilion, on the other hand, catered to ordinary people and merchants. 

Different customer bases naturally meant different reference values.

After waiting for a while, Qin Feng and Ningshaung sat down in the restaurant under the hospitality of the waiter.

There are all kinds of dishes here. Since Qin Feng was new here, he didn’t know what to order, so he asked the waiter to serve all the signature dishes.

The restaurant was quite distinctive, with a raised platform in the middle where a storyteller was passionately telling stories. 

It was a pleasant sight for the diners, who enjoyed both their meals and the stories.

“This idea is not bad,” Qin Feng nodded slightly. After all, what the restaurant needed most was popularity and liveliness. 

Besides, he had an abundance of unique and diverse stories in his head from his previous life, so there was no shortage of stories to attract the guests.

With chopsticks in hand and a satisfied stomach, Qin Feng gained a rough understanding of the taste preferences of the people of Imperial City.

Perhaps tired, the storyteller took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and stopped telling stories. Instead, he casually mentioned some important events that had happened in the Four Realms of Great Qian.

Not only did this not disappoint the people, but it made them even more excited. 

After all, for these people, gossip and small talk were timeless after-dinner discussions.

As the center of the Great Qian, Imperial City attracted people from all directions, and the news circulated widely.

The storyteller mentioned the Asura Clan in the eastern region, whose strength was still unmatched, and whose name alone caused fear.

In the northern region, the Rakshasa Clan boasts women who are all stunning, but each is armed with thorns capable of taking life.

The Garuda Clan in the southern region has recently shown signs of activity after resting following the battle at Zhen Ling Pass.

The Demon King of the Western Region is extremely powerful; over the past few years, he has taken over many areas, and the Demon Slaying Department is finding it increasingly difficult to suppress him.

There are fox ghosts that can bewitch souls, colossal peng birds that can darken the sky, and mountain-backed dragon turtles that can topple mountains and seas.

The Phoenix Fire devours a thousand acres of forest, and the roar of the Azure Dragon shakes the Nine Heavens.

Demons and ghosts are always the main theme of this era, and mankind can only survive cautiously in the midst of their conflicts.

“As for the southern region, too many things have happened recently. Since the construction of the Huarong Road, the ghosts and demons in the southern region have become restless. The Twelve Divine Generals have been relentlessly fighting powerful ghosts and demons without a moment’s rest.”

“And not long ago, there was the much-publicized corpse demon disaster in the bustling city of Shuliang, which I’m sure you’ve all heard about.”

“If it hadn’t been for the personal appearance of Lord Spear Immortal, the consequences would have been unimaginable!”

“But perhaps you don’t know that there is one person who can be said to have played a crucial role in solving the corpse ghost disaster.”

The narrator left a suspenseful pause, and the people in the audience who were eating immediately became impatient: “Who is this person? Tell us clearly!”

“Don’t be hasty, don’t be hasty. Listen to me slowly. You must be familiar with the outstanding talent of the Liu family, Liu Jianli, the pride of the Liu family.”

“Before the three great sword families formed the Sword Alliance, she had already reached the third rank in martial arts, becoming the youngest sword god in history.”

“And the reason why the corpse ghost disaster in Shuliang City was safely resolved is because…”

Someone in the audience interrupted, “Could it be that Liu Jianli also went there and joined hands with Lord Spear Immortal?”

The narrator waved his hand and said, “No, no. The one who left is her husband, the son of the second-ranked national general from the Qin family!”

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, and the movement of Lan Ningshuang’s chopsticks stopped.

“Speaking of this young man, he is truly exceptional. Despite his young age, his cultivation on the path of the literary saint is not low. His poetic achievements are even more outstanding. Two months ago, a poem praising a beautiful woman from the Southern Hundred Flowers Valley spread throughout the Imperial City, causing a stir in the brothels.”

“Countless scholars and patrons hailed it as a classic, proclaiming that for the next thousand years, it would be difficult to find a poem praising a woman that could surpass its brilliance.

In the crowded restaurant, there were some seasoned old patrons. 

A richly dressed man exclaimed excitedly, “I know, I know! The clouds want clothes, the flowers want beauty, and the spring breeze brushes the doorstep, revealing rich dew!”

“Even the top courtesans in the brothels would show a longing expression when mentioning this poem. Many courtesans even openly stated that if the person who wrote this poem visited their courtyard, they would not ask for payment, just to spend a pleasant night with such a talent!”

Such a good thing exists?

Qin Feng’s eyes lit up. To become a courtesan in the brothels of the Imperial City, they must be an exceptional beauty.

If you wanted to spend a night there, the cheapest option would cost nearly a hundred taels of silver.

If one could enjoy it for free, it would truly be too good to be true.

Just as he was indulging in his fantasies, he suddenly felt a murderous intent.

When he turned his head to look, Lan Ningshuang’s beautiful eyes looked at him calmly without blinking.

Qin Feng immediately frowned and sighed, “The world is declining, people’s hearts are not the same as before, these people are really vulgar.”
